Rest for a short period of time after each set. The

ideal resting periods are:

• Rest for three minutes after each set for a muscle

building workout.

• Rest for one minute after each set for a toning work-

out.

• Rest for 30 seconds after each set for a weight loss

workout.

Plan to spend the first couple of weeks familiarizing

yourself with the equipment and learning the proper

form for each exercise.

COOLING DOWN

End each workout with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching.

Include stretches for both your arms and legs. Move

slowly as you stretch and do not bounce. Ease into

each stretch gradually and go only as far as you can

without strain. Stretching at the end of each workout

is an effective way to increase flexibility.

STAYING MOTIVATED

For motivation, keep a record of each workout. The

chart on pages 22 and 23 of this manual can be pho-

tocopied and used to schedule and record your work-

outs. List the date, the exercises performed, the resist-

ance used, and the numbers of sets and repetitions

completed. Record your weight and key body meas-

urements at the end of every month. Remember, the

key to achieving the greatest results is to make exer-

cise a regular and enjoyable part of your everyday life.
